Hosted Vs On-Premise IP PBX

Low initial cost, shorter deployment schedule, flexibility and minimal maintenance: These are just a
few benefits that make Hosted PBX solution highly attractive for modern businesses.

In fact, Epygi Cloud QX (ecQX) can be a good fit for specific types of businesses, such as those who
need to set up or scale their operations quickly, those who have many locations with very few
employees at each location, and for those who want to avoid the hassle of managing a PBX.

But while hosted PBX solutions may be ideal for some organizations, in many cases a premise-based
solution (QX IP PBX) would be a better option to provide higher service availability, more flexible
customization options, and better long-term economics.

Simply put, both solutions offer huge advantages. So which one to choose? Considering various factors
such as the Cost, Quality, Customization and Control over the system, can help you choose between the
two deployment solutions that will bring the most value to your company.
